DISappearing Peeps...Vol. 3! All are Welcome!

[Disneyfreak92]

Got this e-mail from her preschool teacher today within minutes of her coming home from preschool:

We are learning the letter "Ll" this week. Every time we learn a new letter, we glue something to that letter. We were getting ready for that today when I picked up a piece of lace and asked:

Me:"Does anyone know what this is called?"

Norah: "B00b stuff?"

Me:That's close, it's called l-l-lace.
Can you say that with me?
l-l-lace."



I can't imagine where she gets this stuff from!

That is hilarious!!!

i've missed you guys, too! i don't even remember when the last time i was here was. i'm sure there are lots of new faces and i'm hoping some old ones too! life just happened - i got busy and overwhelmed and strayed. i've gained a few pounds back but nothing major. i refused to weigh myself over the holidays but i weighed in on monday morning at 141 pounds. i've been back on my strict 1500 calories a day and writing down what i eat and i've already lost 5 pounds as of today!!!! it's amazing what a little discipline will do.

i'm hoping that sticks for my first weigh-in tomorrow as a reformed peep. that is.....if you guys will forgive my absence and have me back.

You HAVE been missed! I was just thinking about you today. I have also gained back a few pounds and am getting back on track myself.

Yes! Contact me and/or Lynda (Disneyfreak) for our full names to have as Facebook friends then we'll let you IN. Now, it kinda died, but it's still ooozing with potential.

I REeeeEeLLy was hoping it would be a success.

It DOES still have potential Wendy! I did just post over there on our smack down thread today. And it sounds like a few more Peeps are joining Facebook, so let's fire it up again!

 

[dismom9761]

Amy - Happy birthday. Sounds like you made great choices today.

Thank you!

good morning peepers...
well i will be off in a few to NH but i weighed in this morning as i said i would and i am DOWN 3.6!!! yay! i know that it won't be this good every week..but i am happy the first week on WW went so smoothly...i def. need to get more activity in for next week though!
Have a good one..i will be checkin in with you guys Saturday..so do exciting things!

Thats great!!

I'm so sorry.



I'm sitting without heat as well. Fortunately though the lows are in the 40's and highs in 50 - 60 range so its cool but I'm not freezing by comparison. But being from the south, I much prefer lows in the 70's and highs in the 80 - 90 range. HURRY UP SUMMER!


DD is moving right along. She is 35 weeks now. Feeling pregnant and miserable. She gained 9 pounds this past 2 weeks and her hands and feet are a little swollen - nobody would notice but me because she still looks skinny- her blood pressure is creeping up - not bad- 123/88 but her baseline was 90/50. The doctor told her to rest, rest, rest..... we just laughed cause I dont know how much more she can rest.... she doesnt officially get up until noon and is in the bed loungeing the rest of the time.... He also said for her to watch her salt intake and drink water. Her delivery is scheduled for Feb 3rd unless the baby decides to come sooner. So not much longer and the real fun begins.

You guys will laugh at this..... while sitting in the doctor's office the other day she looks at me and says.... "you know, I've never changed a diaper before. I dont know how. I've never fed a baby before either." I said yes, remember, you said you didnt like kids. you never babysat, never played with dolls, she had barbies but only cut their hair and hit people with them. She told me that she babysat a few times. Clarification: she spent the night at a friend of mines house with her 3 kids age 12, 8, and 4. She didnt get there until 10pm. the kids were fed, bathed and 2 of them were already in the bed. So she just was there to sleep on the couch and make sure nobody killed eachother- LOL! She then said, "you are going to help me aren't you?" I told her I thought she would do fine and she would figure out what to do just like everybody else does but if it looked like she was going to kill the baby I would come rescue her- the baby not DD.

OH, BOY! what fun this is going to be.

I agree about the temps.I need warmth!That is funny about your DD.

I remember you Amy! Welcome back! And those muffins sounds yummy! Could you post the recipe maybe? And WOO HOO on Disney in 37 days!

Hi! Thanks for the welcome.I will post the recipe below.

::: peeps in :::

hi.

Hi!

Cute kid story coming up. Feel free to skim or skip.

Got this e-mail from her preschool teacher today within minutes of her coming home from preschool:

We are learning the letter "Ll" this week. Every time we learn a new letter, we glue something to that letter. We were getting ready for that today when I picked up a piece of lace and asked:

Me:"Does anyone know what this is called?"

Norah: "B00b stuff?"

Me:That's close, it's called l-l-lace.
Can you say that with me?
l-l-lace."

Sounds like my youngest.

I was at Costco today and noticed a table full of bathing suits.

I normally would never even look at bathing suits in January, but one color combo caught my eye: BLACK AND WHITE paisley!
For only $19! It would be financially irresponsible NOT to buy such a cute suit.

Here's the best part, there wasn't any 14's, and the 16's looked too large (busty), so I bought a 12thinking/hoping to wear it next summer. Well! Just for kicks I tried it on when I got home. Guess what?


Pick One:
A. I was traumatized and am going to take it back ASAP. What was I thinking? Not since the low-rise jeans incident of 2007 in the GAP fitting room have I been so entertained.

B. It fit! A TWELVE.

C. It did fit, but I instantly doubted the sizing as manufacturers scam and it's now bugging me to the point where I want BBQ potato chips and some icecream for comfort.


*Correct answer is B (although I did find it funny that I'm NOT in anything even close to a 12 ....YET)((and BBQ chips DO sound kinda good, grrrr))

Thats wonderful!

I've been fairly good this week although my husband has been sabotaging me at every corner. He is the cook/grocery shopper and I guess he just doesn't want to eat the good stuff. He made oatmeal raisin cookies last night and I feel I did great by only eating ONE.

I leave in 2 weeks on the vacation with his ex wife and I'm so not bathing suit ready. I guess I'll just flash the big honking diamond ring my husband bought me for Christmas. Maybe she'll be blinded by the glare and not notice the cottage cheese thighs.

I agree with blinding with the bling.

 

[dismom9761]

I did well today. I stayed within my calories though after reading Punkin's post I am wondering if I am keeping them too low.I am doing 1200 a day. I thought thats what I did last time.I went to the gym but I took it easy.I am super sore and I have my first session with my trainer tomorrow that came free with the membership. I did total about 45 minutes though.

WW cupcake/muffin recipes are super easy.

Strawberry-
One box of strawberry cake mix with one can diet sprite,

Chocolate-one box devils food cake mix with a diet coke

Spice-
I box spice cake mix,one can pumpkin,and 1/2 cup water.

Just mix and follow the directions on the box for cooking cupcakes.You can use different variations.I know some like to make the chocolate with Dr.Pepper.

 

[HockeyKat]

dismom, I stayed at 1200 with an every other week cheat night, and exercised a lot, and lost almost 60 lbs in about a year. Let it creep back on, which is another story, but 1200 worked for me. I am 5'8 and went from 218 to 160.

I have more to say but am too tired to post it. Faith, definitely bling, though, and Dawn, nice to "see" you.

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Yes! Contact me and/or Lynda (Disneyfreak) for our full names to have as Facebook friends then we'll let you IN. Now, it kinda died, but it's still ooozing with potential.

I REeeeEeLLy was hoping it would be a success.

Got your PM, and the friend request is on its way!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Good luck for tomorrow's weigh-in everybody! (I'm hoping for two or more, but I'll be happy with one...)

 

[punkin413]

B. It fit! A TWELVE.

CONGRATS!!!!

Hi all. Had to post when I saw Dawn pop up as having posted. Hi Dawn.

hi, pakey! glad to see you're back on the peeps thread. when i had left i believe you had, too.

Welcome back! I kinda-sorta disappeared for about a month and a half myself. 10 pounds and lots of regret later, I'm back too. (Although, I doubt I'll be 5 pounds lighter tomorrow!)

hey, aaron! good to know i'm not the only bad peep around here.

Yes! Contact me and/or Lynda (Disneyfreak) for our full names to have as Facebook friends then we'll let you IN. Now, it kinda died, but it's still ooozing with potential.

I REeeeEeLLy was hoping it would be a success.

i was on it briefly but the group is not the reason i didn't check in - i'm one of the very few people on the face of the earth that just doesn't like facebook all that much. i don't check it very often.

You HAVE been missed! I was just thinking about you today. I have also gained back a few pounds and am getting back on track myself.

hey, lynda! wow....there are so many of you that i have missed. i thought of you recently too when i found a new setting on my camera that gave me better fireworks pictures!

Hi!

hey, amy! good to see you.

and Dawn, nice to "see" you.

you, too....my real-life friend!

Good luck for tomorrow's weigh-in everybody! (I'm hoping for two or more, but I'll be happy with one...)

you too!

 

[punkin413]

oh, i forgot to mention in the last post that i have not one, but TWO TRs going right now! they're both listed below in my signature under "current TRs." the september one features a real-life disappearing peep encounter! and i definitely need more peepage over on my TRs.

 

[dwheatl]

You guys will laugh at this..... while sitting in the doctor's office the other day she looks at me and says.... "you know, I've never changed a diaper before. I dont know how.

OH, BOY! what fun this is going to be.

When I was expecting my first, I took a 2 night newborn parenting class. We learned about diapers, colic, etc. I still made plenty of mistakes, but it did boost my confidence.

I want to add you on Facebook! Could you PM me your full name, or I could send you mine?

I tried sending you an email, but I'm not sure it went through (it was acting wonky). If not PM me, please.

We are learning the letter "Ll" this week. Every time we learn a new letter, we glue something to that letter. We were getting ready for that today when I picked up a piece of lace and asked:

I can't imagine where she gets this stuff from!

Sounds like you've got some nice lacy underthings. Beats the plain but comfy bras I've been buying at Costco.

i'm hoping that sticks for my first weigh-in tomorrow as a reformed peep. that is.....if you guys will forgive my absence and have me back.

Welcome back! Of course we forgive your absence. Sounds like you were off living it up.

I leave in 2 weeks on the vacation with his ex wife and I'm so not bathing suit ready. I guess I'll just flash the big honking diamond ring my husband bought me for Christmas. Maybe she'll be blinded by the glare and not notice the cottage cheese thighs.

And you can always use the ring to smack her a good one if she gives you any guff. Just sayin'.

Yes! Contact me and/or Lynda (Disneyfreak) for our full names to have as Facebook friends then we'll let you IN. Now, it kinda died, but it's still ooozing with potential.

I REeeeEeLLy was hoping it would be a success.

The promise of your bum shots is what got me over there, and then I couldn't find you. I promise if you let me be your friend I've got my own amazing bum shot (I'm even wearing DIS-approved lime green).

 

[DisneyGalUK]

::: peeps in :::

hi.

Yay! Welcome back Dawn!

I REeeeEeLLy was hoping it would be a success.

It still can be a success!

Im on Facebook peeps - PM me!!!

So I am -1lb I admit, I was hoping for more with the stomach flu diet. But, considering I only did an hour and half exercise all week - i'll take it!

Good Luck Everyone!

Too funny!!! This sounds like my DD when she was that age!

Congrats on the size 12 Good for you!!!



Ok I forgot to weigh myself this morning! I know what is wrong with me. Will weigh in over the weekend! Have a great day!!

 

[DisneyLaura]

Just popping in quickly to say I'm not weighing in this week. Unfortunately, I'm back in California, as my dad passed away this past Saturday. We were a little shocked, as he just got home from the rehabilitation center a few days before and seemed to be doing fine.

Not sure when I'll be getting back home, but I'll try to pop back in when I can. The good thing is I haven't been eating a lot, but when I have, I've been craving good healthy things. My body's telling me just what it needs to get by, so I'm listening.

Thanks for all of the past remarks about my dad... I appreciate it.

So sorry to hear about your father

SO...Greg is taking me away to NH tommorow till Saturday as part of my Christmas gift ..I'm excited. I have a feeling my diet will be "compromised" a bit but i will still log in everything on weightwatchers mobile and go from there. I think we are planning on snow shoeing one of the days so that should earn me some exercise benefits!!!! I guess the place we are staying ( he wont' tell me much!) is a really nice bed n breakfast and we have a whole floor to ourselves with a jacuzzi and all sorts of nice stuff..sounds good to me!!
I will weigh in tommorow morning if that is ok, since scales are a No-No on vacation!!

OOhhh that sounds like fun. Can't wait to hear all about it.

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I'm - 1 lb this week. Not much of a loss considering I exercised for 8 1/2 hours this past week. Maybe next week will be my week.

 

[UGABelle]

Well I guess I'm joining the club, because I'm -1 lb this week too.

If I lose the same for the next 4 weeks I will meet my Valentine's Challenge goal.

Good luck everyone and hope you have a great weekend!

 

[UtahMama]

Sooooo exciting about the size 12 cheapo bathing suit! It would have been a bargain even if it didn't fit.

I swear you should all have a little female surgery to help with the weight loss thingy. You are all gonna be freakin jealous tomorrow when you see my number for the week!!! (problem is, 2 weeks from now, when the appetite returns, I'll be refusing to post that number).

Nite all!

Waiting for your BIG numbers, lady.

Sounds like you've got some nice lacy underthings. Beats the plain but comfy bras I've been buying at Costco.


The promise of your bum shots is what got me over there, and then I couldn't find you. I promise if you let me be your friend I've got my own amazing bum shot (I'm even wearing DIS-approved lime green).

I DO have pretty "unmentionables" ...which make me FEEL pretty and sexy etc. which I highly, HIGHLY recommend we all do! On the outside, I'm a frumpy mom. Underneath the jeans and lycra layered t-shirts, I have this whole secret sexy thang going on. Makes a HUGE difference in my whole attitude. I'm anti-packaged Hane's Her Way/ Jockey for Her, etc.

PM me for my name. I have to see your amazing bum shot!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Well, if I can keep this up I'll be at my goal weight in no time! I was able to lose 2.8 pounds this week. But just to keep from getting overly confident, I'm chalking some of that up to a Biggest Loser Week 1 syndrome where you lose lotsa weight the first week on a diet, and then it becomes more of a struggle later on.

Let's see some good numbers to start the year!

 

[the Fidge]

Fidge! You're on facebook? Find me! Or send me your full name so I can look you up?

Can do! I have no clue about it, as a dear friend kept at me to join so I finally gave in!

OK SAMER here and thats ok had a hard week, life having its way with me but lost of good things coming of it. Amazing to me with this journaling thing how every uncomfortable moment is normally been answered with: hmm... you know some chocolate that should make me feel or better or some nice warm italian bread and of course maybe something heavy and warm!

Its brutally cold here and I can't wait to trade in some sand for snow!

Hope everyone is doing well and don't forget it takes 3 months of doing something regularly to become a habit so if we get this down well look out March!

Happy Firday!

OH, BOY! what fun this is going to be.

I can't believe she only has 5 five weeks left. That's a funny story but I'm sure she will do fine. I know in the hospital they had some classes while I was in there after I delivered about how to bathe the baby. Maybe she can look into that to see if anything is offered at the hospital for her.

::: peeps in :::

hi.

Hi Dawn - Although I have been chatting with you on your TR's it's nice to see you over here.

*Correct answer is B (although I did find it funny that I'm NOT in anything even close to a 12 ....YET)((and BBQ chips DO sound kinda good, grrrr))

That is great news. You go girl

I've been fairly good this week although my husband has been sabotaging me at every corner. He is the cook/grocery shopper and I guess he just doesn't want to eat the good stuff. He made oatmeal raisin cookies last night and I feel I did great by only eating ONE.

Well good for you for only eating ONE cookie, that's will power I tell ya. I agree with everyone else - blind her with your bling

Sorry if I confused you. You don't get a code with the planning DVD, but I've heard the more "stuff" you order or request from Disney, the better your chances are of getting a code.

I don't know if there's any truth to that, but I figured it couldn't hurt.

Hope you get lucky and get one!

That's ok I just didn't wanna miss something to save some money

Just need that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray, then you get the "butter" taste, but no calories!

I put this on my baked potatoes or rice, not that bad

Cute kid story coming up. Feel free to skim or skip.

Got this e-mail from her preschool teacher today within minutes of her coming home from preschool:

We are learning the letter "Ll" this week. Every time we learn a new letter, we glue something to that letter. We were getting ready for that today when I picked up a piece of lace and asked:

I can't imagine where she gets this stuff from!

Out of the mouths of babes

Sooooo exciting about the size 12 cheapo bathing suit! It would have been a bargain even if it didn't fit.

Nite all!

Oh I'm sorry to hear that you had surgery, I must have missed that but I can't wait to see your number

I did well today. I stayed within my calories though after reading Punkin's post I am wondering if I am keeping them too low.I am doing 1200 a day. I thought thats what I did last time.I went to the gym but I took it easy.I am super sore and I have my first session with my trainer tomorrow that came free with the membership.

Just mix and follow the directions on the box for cooking cupcakes.You can use different variations.I know some like to make the chocolate with Dr.Pepper.

Oh I remember these recipes, they taste really good. I did the chocolate one. My question is how much batter do you put in a liner (cupcake)?

I DO have pretty "unmentionables" ...which make me FEEL pretty and sexy etc. which I highly, HIGHLY recommend we all do! On the outside, I'm a frumpy mom. Underneath the jeans and lycra layered t-shirts, I have this whole secret sexy thang going on. Makes a HUGE difference in my whole attitude. I'm anti-packaged Hane's Her Way/ Jockey for Her, etc.

PM me for my name. I have to see your amazing bum shot!

I totally agree that you need things to make you feel pretty even if no one can see them. Although I have to admit I have a lot of those Hane's for Her undies, love my cotton undies

Well, if I can keep this up I'll be at my goal weight in no time! I was able to lose 2.8 pounds this week. But just to keep from getting overly confident, I'm chalking some of that up to a Biggest Loser Week 1 syndrome where you lose lotsa weight the first week on a diet, and then it becomes more of a struggle later on.

Aaron you lost 2.8 lb because you worked for it. Don't sell yourself short. Good job.

I have wonderful news to share with my peeps. First of all I am starting to feel better. I laid on the couch and slept for one and half days. My sides hurt from coughing, my nose hurts inside (I hope it's not another sinus infection). I had the chills one second and sweating the next. Headaches like you wouldn't believe. Not fun. Now of course I have a huge rat's nest in the back of my head from laying down and I have to try and comb through that today.

Anyway I weighed myself today and I'm -5.2 lb. I'm sure a lot of it is from being sick and Aunt Flo just leaving but I'm glad to see it anyway.

 

[punkin413]

Welcome back! Of course we forgive your absence. Sounds like you were off living it up.

well, i went to disney world in september and december but i can't remember exactly when i last checked in here. but other than that, just the norm!

Yay! Welcome back Dawn!

thanks!

thanks! it's good to be back.

glad to hear that you're feeling better but sorry you were so sick. no fun!

i see some pretty numbers!!!!

i'm -5 pounds today. as aaron said...

But just to keep from getting overly confident, I'm chalking some of that up to a Biggest Loser Week 1 syndrome where you lose lotsa weight the first week on a diet, and then it becomes more of a struggle later on.

that's totally what's going on with me too!

so are we doing a valentine's day challenge? if so, put me down for 8 pounds! i've already got 5 of them done - that should be no problem (i hope).

 

[LMO429]

Hi Dawn!!! Welcome Back!

I'm down -3 pounds this week, I think it would have been more but Aunt Flo is in Da house!!!!!! My first week of Chalean Extreme will be over today....I still love it and notice a change in my body already

Utah Mama: How exciting about the size 12
I have a similiar goal this upcoming Disney Trip not to wear a tank top over my bathing suit at blizzard beach.
